tesa Powerstrips® Hooks in new designs, colors, and materials
For the bath, kitchen, or entryway, hooks are not only handy organizational helpers, but also a fashion statement. Their design should match the furnishings and fit the residents of the home. And, of course, keep up with the times. That’s why, with the new self-adhesive tesa Powerstrips® Hooks, tesa is right on the cutting edge: The new hooks are a cinch to apply, can be removed at any time without leaving any residue behind, and fit today’s trends perfectly thanks to their materials and clean lines.
First there are the two new tesa Powerstrips® Metal-Plastic Hooks Small, which set new trends with their modern, visually light design. The attractive combination of rust-free stainless steel and high-quality synthetics make them into true living space accessories. tesa Powerstrips® Metal-Plastic Hooks are available in two different shapes.

tesa Powerstrips® Hooks Small Rectangular
Another new addition to the product line are tesa Powerstrips® Hooks Small Rectangular. Because they are new, they come in simple, contemporary forms and two hot colors: white and matt-chrome. Their restrained design means that they fit in any location, from the home to the workshop or the office. This also convinced the jury of the iF product design award 2008. The international top designers distinguished not only the design but also the quality of the material, the painstaking finish and the innovative Powerstrips® technology.
There are also some newcomers among tesa’s most popular hooks, tesa Powerstrips® Hooks Oval. Previously, they were available in Small and Large, with both sizes available in white, beige, chrome, and blue. Now the product line also includes the trendy color matt-chrome, also in small and large sizes. The classic shape of the oval tesa Powerstrips® hooks and the look of metal combine for modern elegance.
The tesa Powerstrips® Hooks Large Trend have also welcomed another new development. Along with the tried-and-tested color matt-chrome, the angular hooks with their prominent tips are now available in white as well.
Like the entire tesa Powerstrips® range of hooks, the new hooks work based on the first-rate Powerstrips® principle. They can be applied quickly, hold reliably, and can be removed at any time without a trace. That means that nails and screws, which leave holes when removed, and permanent adhesives, which necessitate labor-intensive cleaning of the surface after removal, are a thing of the past. The tesa Powerstrips® hooks consist of two parts: a plastic base plate, which is affixed to the wall first, and the actual hook, which is clicked into place on the base plate. In the small-sized hooks, the plastic base plate is connected to the hook directly. When the hook is clicked into place on the base plate, the handle of the tesa Powerstrip® is concealed. To remove the hook later, just remove the hook from the plastic base plate and use the handle to pull the tesa Powerstrip® off, parallel to the wall. Done!
Their high-quality materials and compact form make tesa Powerstrips® Hooks extremely rugged and very versatile to use. The large hooks are rated to hold 1.5 kg and the small ones 0.75 kg. The new tesa Powerstrips® Hooks are available starting right now at home improvement and hardware stores as well as consumer markets with larger product assortments.
With the seven new hooks, tesa is expanding on the successful tesa Powerstrips® line of hooks in the most popular categories. Small hooks and the colors matt-chrome and white are currently especially hot among end customers. Consumer tests also show that unobtrusive rectangular forms are rated the highest. With a 52% share of sales volume, tesa is the most significant brand in the self-adhesive hook segment in Germany.
